Grimsby moving supplies

Moving box rental in Grimsby — reusable plastic bins

First, to be clear: these are reusable plastic moving bins with secure lids — hand-carried moving boxes that hold 102 litres each, not dumpsters or portable storage containers.

Grimsby's lakeside townhomes and escarpment properties both come with stairs, and stairs are where cardboard fails. Rigid bins with handles make the trip far easier.

We deliver along the Main Street corridor and up toward the bench for $5 per bin the first week.

$5 per bin for the first week · $1.50 per bin each extra week · delivery & pickup included.

What moving in Grimsby is actually like

Grimsby is built on a slope. Between the lakeside townhomes near Casablanca and the bench properties up against the escarpment, most homes here involve at least one full flight of stairs and often a sloped driveway on top of it.

The townhome developments by the lake are narrow and vertical — three storeys with a garage at the bottom is a common layout. That means the same box gets carried up two flights, which is where cardboard bottoms give out.

Bench properties above Main Street have longer, steeper driveways. We bring bins to the door rather than leaving them at the curb.

Local packing tips for Grimsby

Pack heavy things low and light

In a three-storey townhome, keep books and dishes to half-full bins. You will be carrying them down two flights.

Stage on the garage level

Lakeside townhomes have a ground-floor garage — bring sealed bins down the night before and load in one pass.

Mind the lake wind

Loading near the lake in shoulder season means wind. Lids stay clipped until the bin is in the truck.

Where else can you get moving boxes in Grimsby?

Grimsby has limited moving-supply retail, so cardboard usually means Stoney Creek or St. Catharines. For a 30 to 50 bin move that is two or three trips before packing even begins.

Better than U-Haul boxes

A bundle of 20 U-Haul medium cardboard boxes costs about $90.54 delivered to Grimsby — and you still buy tape, get less space per box, and recycle everything afterwards. Twenty of our 102 L reusable bins are $113 all in, with free labels and a dolly included.
